A workplace that binds the island together

BRK is a unique municipal workplace, because the island is an independent region. We therefore work with strategies and tasks within business, tourism and transport, which are areas that Danish municipalities normally do not handle. At brk.dk you can read more about the municipality, which with 3,600 employees is the island’s distinctly largest workplace.

BRK is a smoke-free workplace.

We help you settle in

Moving to the 'sunny island' is a big decision – you don’t have to go through it alone. We have a settlement consultant who helps with housing, a job for your spouse and school or leisure activities for the family’s youngest. Read more here .
